Agreed. Howard is in placeholder status. No reason to upgrade the net right now, and I think a tandem of Bernier and Pickard would destroy what little confidence this team has left. Just keep him for now.

a secret thread you're not supposed to know about...

Def miss FlashyG's GDTs. sirdrake is amazing due to the fact he/she is still so remembered despite just 12 posts back in 2007.

I´m not a big fan of spending big bucks for a goaltender. I was ok with Howard the last years and will be ok with him the next two years. To me he is real solid and sometimes close to spectacular. There were plenty of games where he kept us in the game and really often was left alone after bad outlet passes. His numbers are, for a defense like we had the last years, absolutly ok and I don´t think a Bobrovsky would have won us like 10 extra games. Howard on top of his game is all you need and to get that for $4M per year is totally fine with me. The "high end" goalies get $10M per year, I prefer a Howard and $6M in cap space for another quality player
